Jones-Drew in for a visit

Former Jaguars and De La Salle High (Concord) running back Maurice Jones-Drew is meeting with the Raiders Thursday night and Friday.
The 2011 NFL rushing leader met with the Steelers and the Jets are reportedly also in the hunt, but league sources said the Raiders are now the front-runner for the free agent’s services. Oakland is looking for someone to pair with Darren McFadden.
Jones-Drew, 29, missed 10 games in 2012 and averaged just 3.4 yards per carry for Jacksonville last season, a far cry from his league-best 1,606 yards on 343 rushes in 2011.
He was reportedly seeking a deal worth at least $3 million per year and was willing to wait out the market.
Jones-Drew played for Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson when Olson was the Jaguars’ assistant head coach/QB coach in 2012.
